Ok, dying to tell someone and this seemed like the right place. I'm a new chicken owner with 6 pullets and found my first two eggs today!

Good job. Way to go!!!!! 
Not sure will check on that though
Ratites are ostriches & emus, that sort of bird. Big birds!
I was busy with the rabbits today, they are in kindling mode, and was wondering if other La-yers are raising rabbits for meat, too? If so, what breed and why did you choose that breed?
Quite a few years ago I wanted to raise some of those big girls. I went to an ostrich ranch in Robert, LA and observed their set up and bators, and also went to a BarBQ with ostrich burgers (YUM). LSU used to have an ostrich field on Highland Road right by the gates. I got in touch with them to learn more. I went to their offices and saw their bators and those BIG eggs. Before they let me go into the pasture with the ostriches, I had to take off my earrings (ostriches like to peck those) and they told me to not get directly in front of them because they said they would "lay me open from neck to stomach with their BIG front claw." When I got into the pasture, I kept trying to dodge being in front of them. I have to admit I was very AFRAID. I don't know how true all that was, but that was the end of my ostrich dreams. LOL To put everything into perspective, I was afraid of my Black Stars when I got them at 3 weeks old. LOL I told my granddaughter, "these are our chickens now and we cannot be afraid of them." So we petted them and held them until they were calm and we were, too. LOL So, that's the rest of the story.And I want some!!!!!!!!!
